    First time ever using a large hair jig...and just wow! This was by far, my best day ever on Folsom Lake. Not a dink to be found. I put together a 14lb 1oz bag with this 4lbs 3oz kicker. Needless to say, I'll be getting right back out there with that Chicken Nugget! And I'll be buying a few more. I looked for steep drop offs, would cast to edge, let it sink about 3 feet and then a slow retrieve with tiny little twitches added in. The bites were amazingly subtle, and I feel certain I missed a few. But once I figured it out, did we have some fun!

    Finally! I've been trying to get out to put those Keitech swimbaits I just purchased to work. I got out for a short afternoon run, spending most of my time between Browns Ravine and the dam, and I wasn't disappointed. This was the best one of the day. A 3 lb 6 oz beauty that fought like a 6 pounder. I was targeting submerged rock piles, and keeping in close contact with the bottom, sometimes bumping it off the tops of rock piles.

      Matted Grass

    More trailer troubles for me, so with my boat on dry dock, I had to do some hiking. Walked up the North Fork to Mormon's Ravine had some luck using 10.5" Zoom Monster on a Texas Rig setup. I thought I would get a few with a swim bait riding across the top of the grass, but the bass on this day seemed to prefer to stay low and ambush that worm as I pulled it back to shore. I caught this one off a submerged rock pile I know of using the same setup.
